Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Base: Ch 61 (approx. 36 cm). Starting in the second ch from hook, work 1 sc in each ch across. Ch 1, turn, and work 1 sc in every st until the rectangle measures 10 to 12 cm deep.
2. Transition Border: Do not fasten off. Ch 1, work evenly around all four sides (3 sc in each corner) to form a smooth shape. Join with a sl st.
3. Solid Lower Band: Work 4 to 6 rounds of sc. Start each round with ch 1 (does not count as a st), place 1 sc in every st around, and join with a sl st.
4. Mesh Body: For the first mesh round, ch 3 (counts as first dc), work *ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in next st; rep from * around, adjusting the final repeat if needed. Join with a sl st in the top of the beginning ch.

Assembly & Finishing

Securely attach your shoulder-length straps to the upper edge of the bag. Sew the optional floral appliques, leaves, and crocheted balls firmly to the front near one handle for a cheerful botanical finish.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Always make a gauge swatch before starting to test your tension and yarn behavior.
• Place a stitch marker at the beginning of every round to keep your open mesh pattern even and correct.
• Add an optional fabric lining inside to give your bag extra support and privacy for smaller items.
